This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Saratoga Medical Center, Inc. File: B-281350; B-281350.2 Date: January 27, 1999 Norman J. Philion, Esq., Peter A. Greene, Esq., Edward V. Hickey III, Esq., and Danielle E. Berry, Esq., Thompson Hine & Flory, for the protester. Gary S.
